Currently working on a couple 4 string uke builds for my daughters and noticed the tiniest bowing deformity of the fretboards after gluing them on. I cut the fret slots already. The bowing is going…Continue

This post is in response to the large number of discussions i've seen on where a beginner should learn to play cigar box guitar.

Thanks to some advice from Chicken Bone John I planed it down and made it fretless. Partial through neck design, all screwed, not glued. 24.5 inch scale length.…
